A Russian aid convoy carrying medicines and medical equipment arrived to the Gaza Strip, which has been under siege for five years, through the Rafah crossing.
This convoy, which is the first of its kind from Russia, set out last Tuesday under the slogan "Gaza, Moscow is with you". As well as Lilya Muhammad Yarufa, chairperson of the Solidarity Charitable Foundation, the renown Russian journalists Maxim Shevchenko and his wife Nadezhda Kevorkova are participating in the convoy.
The Solidarity Charitable Foundation collected donations during the holy month of Ramadan from Muslims in Russia to buy medicines, medical consumables and medical equipment, which they bought from Egypt according to the list of depleted supplies in Gaza hospitals.
Yarufa said that the organisation collected about 17,000 dollars from various parts of Russia to by medical essentials for the besieged Gaza Strip..
The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced earlier that 310 types of medicine were running out and called everyone to help save the health service of the Gaza Strip from collapse.
Yarufa added that the suffering of the Palestinian people "forms a challenge to Muslims around the world as it is a test of our sympathy brotherhood and humanity.
